Through this survey, it was determined that a number ofinternational and domestic students had proficient technical skills, but lacked in the areas offormal technical and non-technical write-up reports and presentation skills. At the end of theschool year, another survey is conducted to assess the skills of the students. In the 2013-14academic school year, the EVP had 80 members. A majority of international students did nothave experience writing reports and giving presentations. The end of year survey of thesestudents revealed that they had improved on these skills.

Feedback time during these sessions becomes more limited as thenumber of students increases, hence supplemental instruction (SI) can be utilized to increasefeedback and student interactions. Here, we demonstrate how the implementation of SI, asdeveloped by UMKC, in combination with tablet based demonstrations and hand-written/program-specific examples are effectively used to improve student grades and courseevaluations. Weekly SI sessions were developed to reiterate key concepts from the lab for thatweek and also provided students with a peer-friendly environment where they could engage inquestions/discussion without the presence of the course

Writingallows for the ability to come together, understand where there are misunderstandings in thework, and fix any errors before they have the chance to affect anyone.

This approach requires self-reflection on thepart of the student and also provides peer evaluation. This information can be invaluable to the instructorwho may likely not have had the opportunity to observe the finer workings of the team. As anotherexample, to assess whether or not students have utilized a process in decision making, as opposed to, forexample, a majority vote, students can be asked to write a short memo outlining a decision they made,options considered, and the means by which they determined the outcome.

Cases illustrate examples of good and bad engi-neering. Since cases represent real engineering activity, the judgments and decisions re-quired of students can be critically compared by them and their peers with those made bythe professionals in the case. Students discover their decisions may be as good as thosemade by the principals in the case, and perhaps better.

A call forpapers was distributed which students responded to by submitting a short abstract. The abstractswere ‘accepted’ and the students then had to write a full technical paper. A double-blind peerreview was performed within the class to include critical analysis practice for students.

This paper provides suggestionsfor preparing incremental self-assessment rubrics for a capstone design course. While bothself- and peer-assessment can provide significant assessment time-saving for tutors, self-assessment also promotes student learning, according to recent education research.Appropriately designed rubrics can also provide students with guidance on levels ofattainment required for design tasks and students also learn to assess design
